It turns out that security-focused organizations invest in various security tools to identify threats and improve their defensive capabilities.

Too many tools increases complexity Although it sounds counterintuitive, having too many cybersecurity tools could work against your interests. According to IBM’s 2020 Cyber Resilient Organization Report, organizations that use more than 50 security tools are 8 percent less likely to mitigate threats and 7 percent less defensive than other organizations using fewer programs....

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is still a few months away from launch at best, but rumors about Samsung’s upcoming flagship have already started doing the rounds of the Internet. A report from the Korean media claims that the Galaxy Note 5 will ditch the microUSB 2.0 port in favor of a USB 3.1 Type-C port. Now, there is little denying that USB Type-C is going to become a commonplace in future smartphones, tablets and PCs, but for now, the technology is still in its nascent stages....

Samsung is reportedly set to reveal the details of its Galaxy Note 7 investigation next week on January 23rd, but key details from the final report of the investigation have already been leaked.

Samsung is rolling out a new biometrics security patch for the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ that seems to dramatically improve the in-display fingerprint scanner performance.

At the beginning of June, both Samsung and Barnes & Noble unveiled a brand new tablet, the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook that wasn’t really a brand new tablet at all. After all, the original Galaxy Tab 4 was announced way back in April. But, it’s new to Barnes & Noble at least, and it’s all about the Nook brand-name, anyway. That’s what a new teaser video is supposed to show, in all its blue and white glory....

Being Samsung’s flagship smartphone for 2019, the Galaxy S10 series offers all the features that you’d expect from a phone in this day and age. However, it is usually the little features that consumers look for the most — like the ability to record calls natively. And that’s something Samsung has included on the Galaxy S10 series. Most OEMs usually shy away from including native call recording feature in their phones due to regional laws that do not allow for call recording without informing the other party that the call is being recorded....

The feature eventually found its way to Galaxy S8 owners in South Korea, but it’s still a waiting game going on in the U.S. But Samsung appears almost ready to launch the feature, because they want some pre-release input ahead of that big date....

Samsung added a QWERTY keyboard to make it easier to enter information or reply to messages on the watch. The keys on the keyboard are small, but you can use Swipe to type. Previously you could use dictation or a handwriting feature to enter text. For those with a cellular Watch 4 model, you’ll now have a dual-SIM option. I’m not sure how many people use a cellular watch, let alone have two active SIMs for it, but apparently, Samsung thought it was worth adding the ability to switch between active SIMs....
